Gurugram: The Faridabad police on Wednesday claimed to have broken the gang that floated a leading private bank website to deceive credit card customers, with the arrest of five men, including two of Tihar Delhi prison.
In the past year, the gang has delayed more than 50 people in Delhi-NCR.
After collecting a telephone number from the people from the online telephone directory, the police said, the gang will send a favorable offer through bulk sms which urges them to wear their credit card prize points through a link that will take them to the bank’s fake website.
Easy customer fooled from private banks that respond by clicking on the falling prey to their traps.
As soon as the potential target will include credit card details, including CCV numbers, on the fake website “to redeem prize points”, the defendant can access all data.
Geng will then use credit card details to add money to the online wallet from where they will transfer the same to several bank accounts, police said.
The defendant has been identified as Vikash, Rohit, Imran, Mujib and Amanullah aka Guddu.

Four other gang members were in runaway.
The defendant was arrested in a case registered at the Cyber Faridabad police station on complaints from Yashpal, who lost Rs 90,000 in a credit card gift fraud, said DCP Nitish Agrawal.
“Not aware of cyber fraud, he too, like many other people, typing in credit card details such as the number, expiration, CVV number, e-mail and even password from the email ID to redeem the prize points,” he said.
Vikash has been active in cyber crime since 2017.
More than 18 cases are registered at the police station throughout Delhi-NCR.
From them, nine cases were registered in Delhi, seven in Gurgaon and two in Faridabad.
